Title
Can the user-override file be used for an Active Directory (AD) user account with spaces. -
Description
The AD environment has user names with spaces. These users need to access Unix/Linux/Mac servers through Authentication Services. How can this be accomplished? -
Cause
There are no spaces in Unix. -
Resolution
Yes the user-override file will work to overcome this issue. Here is an example of how that would look.
# /etc/opt/quest/vas/user-override
domain\User1:user1:::::
In the above example user User1 in Active Directory will be user1 on the Unix systems where this is set. All other attributes for the user will remain the same.
